Stability Analysis of a Window-Based Flow Control Mechanism for TCP Connections With Different Propagation Delays

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview A feedback-based congestion control mechanism is essential to realize an efficient data transfer service in packet-switched networks. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), a sort of feedback-based congestion control mechanism, has been widely used in the current Internet. Recently-proposed TCP Vegas is another version of TCP mechanism, and achieves much better performance than current TCP Reno. This paper focuses on a window-based flow control mechanism based on the congestion avoidance mechanism of TCP Vegas, and analyzes its stability using a control theoretic approach. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the dynamics of the window-based flow control mechanism when TCP connections have different propagation delays.

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Fat cat telcos are killing the net

Yes, it all works to some degree some of the time but continually increasing the number of VoIP and videoconference calls, radio and TV broadcasts just creates congestion, increased latencies and ultimately one meltdown after another.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
